quarentine

Looking for opinions on what to do with a re-homed fish. I potential fish in question is a two spot Kole tang. I haven’t seen it in person yet, but for sake of conversation let’s assume it’s appears healthy in all observable ways. I intend to at minimum do an observation quarantine. Would you do...

Hi everyone, I’m about to QT a pair of flame scooters, both are eating well. I’m just wondering if people known how well these guys handle copper? I’ll be treating with cupramine, will the 0.5mg/ltr level be ok for them? (Plan to raise to that level over 4 days)

Hello all! So I got a new Scopas and he came down with ich. I reached full dose of copper power in my tank on NOV 6. I added a diamond goby to the tank being treated on NOV 17, because the person I bought him from had him in a tank that had ich a while back, he had no signs though but put him in...

Has anyone that had an ATO area built into their sump turned it into a coral QT instead? The sump only has a 5 gallon capacity for RODI so I was thinking of using it to QT coral and then adding a larger container for fresh water. If you have done that- how did you set up filtration? In theory...

I ordered this fish a few month ago and i recently decided to go a different direction with my tank. I have a lot of tangs already. Asking $250. I'll add pictures to this post when it arrives tomorrow.

Is 11 gallons big enough for a quarantine tank? And how could i quarantine Anthias?

Good morning, I am at a last ditch effort to do something to save my fish. I have a naked clown fish that I have had for at least 12 weeks now. He had since been one of my healthiest and most vigorous eaters. about three weeks ago he decided to stop eating. Shortly after I did start to...

I just got this puffer in the mail today, the bag had hardly any air in it so I tried to work fast. I floated him for about 10 min and drip acclimated him for I’d say 45min doubling the water volume twice. I did not net him or remove him from the water he did not puff up at all. He was swimming...

I woke up today and my bristle tooth tang has mostly just been hanging out on the bottom. This is really unusual and I’m worried he might be sick. What do y’all think?

So I have my QT ready for my fish going in my 145. Currently just observing before adding more fish later this week. These this list if fish have been in the tank now for 10 days Currently I have: Flame Angel One spot foxface baby hippo tang (size of a quarter) Royal grama Engineer goby...

I recently started the hobby and lost my pair of clowns due to velvet, I made the mistake of not quarantining and will never make it again. My question is do I have to quarantine incoming fish in a established tank? I just got a quarantine tank and am setting up I intend to treat incoming fish...

I recently built my 40 breeder 20 sump setup. Stand hood and all, even lights!! Check out my build thread. I've had great numbers for days. Moved my livestock today. Everything looks good except my 1 bta. I managed to rip its foot! I'm extremely disappointed in myself. Should I quarantine it...

Hello! I currently have a powder blue tang in a 20g Long QT. I bought him from petco and for the first 3 days he looked great, beautiful color and everything. I then noticed slight twitching and scratching against the pvc in the tank. With that being said i decided to start treatment with Ruby...

Hello, So This is a little big of a long story. I have a quarantine tank up because I have velvet in my display tank. It has been a little over 6 weeks. I have extended by 2 weeks since i have made the mistake of putting my hand from qt to the other to my dt. My hand may have been dry but I was...

Hey everyone, I have 3 fish in quarantine right now and all are doing great, except yesterday I noticed a white like bulge coming from my one of my smaller clownfish (pictures below). I do have another clownfish that is significantly larger who I do see bullying him at times, I also have a fox...

been battling these little point of sale for over a year... I crush, I pluck, I starve them.... to no avail. Now that they’re growing on my sps I’m throwing in the towel. My tank is getting a complete over haul, putting my fish and coral in QT for a couple months. Luckily I just have a small 50g...

Hi Everyone, I am 3 months into the hobby, and unfortunately, my tank went through a pretty intense Ich outbreak after adding a Kole Tang. I lost the tang but was able to save my other 2 clownfish and have them in a hospital tank, using Copper Power. I have a few questions about this particular...

Hello All, I have been following the QT process outlined by @Humblefish. I have a 20G Tall that I am running copper power at 2.5ppm for 14 days. Dosing General Cure 6 days apart. After 14 Days I have a 40 Gallon tank next to my office desk that I observe them in. There is also a Black Molly...

Hello, I found out yesterday my puffer has developed ich. Picture below. I have a total of 4 fish in my tank including my puffer. How do I go about treating it in a QT. I just set one up today. Can I put all of them inside with out cycling my QT tank. When I hit the therapeutic levels of...

I recently won a giveaway by @noopsyche for the K7 Pro ii and I love it! It’s got a fairly easy setup and user interface on the controller. I am using it on a 10gallon quarantine tank/frag tank that I just started today. I am eager to see how it performs as I start my coral collection!

So yesterday I found out my royal gramma has ich unfortunately. It didn’t look to be a bad case of it and he is still eating and breathing well. Not sure how he got it but things happen I guess. I don’t currently have a quaretiene setup right now but I was planning on turning a spare 20 gallon...
